Hi folks,

  I am trying to post samples from third part software to ceilometer via
the REST API as below with Mitaka version. I can see ceilometer-api has
received this post, and seems forwarded to ceilometer notification agent
through RMQ.

  However I can't find the meters anywhere posted, do I need to do some
additional configuration like adding new custom meter in the meter file?
But in our case I don't have the event type filed.

1. REST API
  POST /v2/meters/(*meter_name*)
<https://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/webapi/v2.html#post--v2-meters-(meter_name)>

Post a list of new Samples to Telemetry.
Parameters:

   - *direct* (str) – a flag indicates whether the samples will be posted
   directly to storage or not.
   - *samples* (list(OldSample
   <https://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/webapi/v2.html#OldSample>))
   – a list of samples within the request body.

Return type:

By checking with [1] should I define a publisher to store smaples otherwise
they will be not stored anywhere.
